Shelbourne Proposed Takeover

[EatYerGreens]

The best of luck to Dave O'Connor in all his endeavors.

When I see the word "CEO" in league of Ireland football though I just always end up thinking to myself "There's the price of two good players walking around in a suit doing nothing that a few volunteers on a committee couldn't do."

As for the marketing executive

Sign a few players and get promoted ffs!

Because no LOI club has tried the whole 'spunk all your money on players' thing

This is something I've thought about before too. Irishtown Stadium would be an ideal base for Shelbourne surely? Loads of space there to build a decent 4,000-5,000 capacity stadium and other groups there to work with already to build a community stadium.

I usually park in Ringsend for Ireland games. It's handy as my seat is on that side of the ground and i come through the port tunnel.

I've often thought while walking Seam Moore Rd that the site of the old Irish Glass Bottle Company factory would be a smashing place for a small stadium and/or large indoor arena which Dublin also badly needs, for those events that need a capacity beyond the 13,000 who can fit into The Point.

Having both facilities on the same site would mean only having to build 1 car park and only having to make infrastructure changes in one area, while returning Shels to their spiritual home and making them the default team for the whole south side. It sounds like a win-win for football and the city.

what about Harolds Cross for Shels? what sort of feedback was there when Shels were based there for years? It could be their Brandywell!

Getting turned into flats I think there is no greyhound racing going on down there now.

Residents would never let anything happen in Irishtown. The only thing that will ever go down there is more houses.

Shels need to be on the northside at this stage. There's already Rovers, Pats, UCD and Cabinteely on the southside. Anybody who wants to go to football is already going.
